After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.

Now I don't want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don't mind slow charging at all, I'm used to overnight charging.

With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that's still reasonable for use... If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I'm gonna get os updates I'm gonna be mad... I'm okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn't really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6...

At least with Android 14 (I don't recall if it did it before) when I plug my pixel 6 in at night it goes to an 'adaptive charging mode' to accomplish just what you're asking for with the idea that it slows charging to compete around the time of the next alarm. So maybe you don't need to actively pursue it if the software is regulating the input there?

That just uses normal fast charging to get to 80%, then stops the charge and finally resumes charging about an hour or two before the planned "charged by" time. No slowing down.

Oh, and it also has (or had on Android 13) a cool bug where it just stops charging if it fails to reach 80% by the time it wants to resume charging (for example if you put the phone on a slow charger late at night - that's how I woke up with 60% battery after 4 hour sleep).

So I just gave up on the idea of using a slow charger to better preserve the battery because the phone clearly wasn't expected to be used that way.

What about if I don't have an alarm? I don't need one to wake up.

I set an alarm at 7 am, no sound, no vibration. It activates adaptive charging without waking me up
